Inspired by Greta and the lovely sun and winter weather I decided to try snow dyeing with Procion MX. For the moment it is still outside where I hope the sun will start thawing the snow. I put the fabric on 10 cm ice and snow and covered it with another 10 cm. As it seemed frozen I have used salt on top of the snow. So now I'll just have to wait.

Just to see if I could get in again from another computer, and add a photo.

This is the result of my snow-dying. It was so easy, no mess, and wow - what colours! There is a good chance one of these will end as the background of my Carnival-quilt - that is if I don't come up with something better.

About Latitude Quilts

Latitude Quilts is a group of textile artists from around the world who came together through the internet. For the past two years, 2012 -2014, we each created a 15" x 15" piece of artwork based on a common group theme. This year, 2015, we are changing the format and each member will be producing 4 quilts per year based on their own theme but each quilt will follow a challenge theme set by one of our members. Challenge themes will be a design principal or style. The results will be posted here on "Reveal Day" at the end of February, May, August and November. Each of us are enjoying exploring our art with the support and critique of other members.
